The university does a lot to support the tribe, allowing tribe members to go to the university on scholarship, sending student to intern at the res, etc… We were always very respectful with the logo and the name. I was sad to see it change because to me, it was our way of honoring our connection to the tribe.
If the NCAA wants to get serious about this issue, they need to talk to Notre Dame about the Fighting Irish. that’s a stereotype and could be considered offensive to the Irish. But that will never happen b/c of the strength of Notre Dame’s merchandising and advertising.

I went to a Division III school North Adams State in Western Massachusetts. Just as I started attending they decided to get all dignified and changed the school name to Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. Well the Mohawks nickname for the athletic teams also changed by the time a graduated. MCLA tams are now known as the TrailBlazers … get this, in honor of the Mohawk Trail. MINGYA!!!
